If I can't find one, I'm thinking about selling my Williams s10 3x5 and my excel uni sd12 8x5

But I'm not looking forward to being without a steel while I wait on a new one. I figured it couldn't hurt to cast the net.

When I joined this forum less than ten years ago I learned, or had the impression that I had learned, that the pedal steel is in terminal decline, the universal will never catch on and the 14-string never really existed.

The reality is that new members seem to pop up almost daily, as do wanted ads for unis, and now here is Phil asking about a 14. Magnificent!

Jim Palenscar has one. I’m looking for one also, but not that one.

I have a Sierra 14 8&7 with several extra pickups I am thinking about selling. Silver cloud I think it is called, ez wheel case, second generation keyless 25in scale.Stafford elegante. They seem to be made better than other Sierras, I have had several. I think it is a 1992 or 93.

If you are thinking of selling it Gary, let me know.

I am just getting the courage up to take pics and sell off my Williams 700 series S-10 3x5 and my Excel sd-12 8x5 uni to make the cash to order an S-14 from Excel.

I just picked up a gig on may 28th though, so I need to have at least one steel for that.

Maybe I will post mine for sale after that and then order.

Super scary, but exciting.

Another thing I have to consider is weight. I am 43, but I had a bad motorcycle accident 9 years ago and walk with a cane, and I can lift either of my steels and walk if necessary with the cane.

How much does that Stafford Elegante weigh in the case?

Check out BMI. They have a 14 string model. Great guitars, built well. Made to last. Google Beck Musical Instruments.

I’m also interested in this if you’re considering selling.

Phil,
Who makes that case? Does it have wheels? I'd love to have one made for my Williams.

Steve, it does have wheels, and I'm not sure although I think I saw the answer in another new excel thread. Some Chinese company. I really love the case. And I really love the steel too. I'm hanging on to my Williams for now, although it hasn't gotten much love since the 14 arrived.

I was in Parkway Music, Clifton Park, NY yesterday. They had a used 14 string keyless Sierra on the floor for $3000.
It is on their website. April 26, 2022.
